Ash Barty concluded her fourth round Australian Open<\/a> win with the usual plaudits to her tight-knit team – plus a public burn for a newer member.<\/p>\n

That was her English strength and conditioning coach, Mark Taylor, namesake of the legendary Australian cricket captain.<\/p>\n

Barty was asked about her team after beating American Shelby Rogers in straight sets, offering a heartfelt tribute to their special bond.<\/p>\n

"Even though there's a fair bit of banter for a certain Englishman," Barty added.<\/p>\n

"He's just kind of come into the pack. We've welcomed him in, kind of.<\/p>\n

"But he'll be up there with a red cherry face right now, which is brilliant."<\/p>\n

Dellacqua confirmed for viewers that Barty was referring to Taylor.<\/p>\n

"Aptly nicknamed 'Tubs' as well. It's all good," Barty said.<\/p>\n

Taylor was indeed red-faced, though fortunately that's partly because he was cracking up. He even pulled his mask up over his eyes to cover the inexorable crimson.<\/p>\n

Taylor has been with Barty for a number of years, so apparently it takes a while to truly crack the inner sanctum of a team that has delivered the world No.1 ranking and a French Open title. Taylor was part of both triumphs in 2019, alongside Barty's trusted coach Craig Tyzzer.<\/p>\n
